Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for right ear hearing loss and effective dates prior to March 17, 2023, for left ear hearing loss and tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current disability of right ear hearing loss. For the other claims, the chain of continuous pursuit was broken after the February 2022 rating decision.
